What a ride for Oral Roberts, back in Omaha for the first time since 1978. Wild super regional in Oregon
Oral Roberts has achieved both:
- Reached the College World Series as a 4 seed in NCAA baseball
- Reached the Sweet 16 as a 15 seed in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament

Seeing Fresno win was one of the coolest sporting events I have ever been to.
Sorry UGA.

Pretty incredible story.

First Summit League team to ever make it to Omaha
OR is 23-1 in their last 24 games
And they lost gwme 1 and were down in bottom 9th in game 2:
Bottom of the 9th. Down 7-6. Season on the line.
ORAL ROBERTS WALKS IT OFF TO FORCE A GAME 3 IN OREGON. These kids have some mojo going for them. Love seeing a team like this compete with the big teams.

I love it because 95% of people have no idea who/what OR is and think it’s something odd.

Good for them, I thought blowing the 8 run lead on Friday would've done them in.

I bet of the 30 runs OR scored in the super, 20+ got on base due to wake or HBPs. Oregon was awful on the mound.

And about 186 people total in the US cared about college baseball...and that's not even much of an exaggeration.

It’s crazy that Wake Forest is the bigger Cinderella story, but I don’t want to root for them cause they’re too good. And P5.

You want to know what is ironic? ORU has 5 players from Arkansas backyard (Springdale, Bentonville, Lowell), 2 of which start as infielders. ORU makes it to Omaha. DVH and Arky watch from home. LOL

The baws had to write their rant shitposts in BASIC back then.

They may be a 4 seed but they’re freaking 51-12. I don’t care what league you play in, any team with that kind record is beyond legit. Cinderella in name only, that’s an extremely good baseball team.

Try being in the Navy and writing code in COBOL and FORTRAN.
